Teaching and lessons

We make language learning fun by introducing topics that students can relate to and by engaging their interest in entertaining ways.

Highly qualified teachers
Tuition is provided by qualified and experienced teachers, who have access to a wide range of materials and resources.

We allow equal importance to both the classroom and leisure parts of the programme and, wherever possible, link the two together.

Our aim is simple: to encourage students to use the language rather than to ‘learn about’ the language.

Each Centre has a Director of Studies, an experienced EFL specialist, who ensures that the quality of teaching and learning is maintained to the highest standards.

Student-friendly lesson structure
On our Classic course, teaching sessions usually consist of four lessons of 45 minutes each and a half-hour break; Intensive courses have additional lessons.

Optimal class sizes
To ensure the best possible teacher-student ratio, classes are usually limited to a maximum of 16 students.

Captivating lessons
Teachers have access to a wide range of materials and resources, including audio-visual facilities, and students are given study materials to work on and take home.

Specialist options
A number of our centres have specialist facilities and teaching, giving students the opportunity to focus on a particular sport or creative art. Our creative programmes are taught by professional artists and theatre practitioners based at the prestigious Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts.
